It’s crazy to think this came out when i was 14. As someone who is 22 now I’ll never forget this song. It was my real first introduction to metal and all the cool stuff this fandom created! I’ll never forget these days :)
Last year, for a school project, I was required to choose any album that I like to present to people and say why everybody needs to listen to it. I chose Moonrise over every other album I've ever heard. I got 100% on it and hooked half the class on your music (even people that hate MLP) and symphonic metal. Don't stop what you're doing.
+RattPitt I don't care for MLP at all, but this is absolutely beautifully done. I love the symphonic metal scene, and go out of my way to find any and all good bands/artists in the genre when I can. I can honestly say that this is significantly more well done than a large majority of the random stuff out there, and on par with some of my favorite bands in the genre. Even the lyrics, which I find silly at times, are particularly well written. I don't care a huge amount for the story, but I can certainly appreciate someone that knows how to write.
This was and still is the best part of the brony community. The enormous variety of what MLP can be. From heart-wrenching tragedies, the fantastic epics, to cute slice-of-life, to shameless clop and so forth. It's why even though other shows/games have come and gone with me MLP is the one thing I haven't been able to get away from for the full 7 years.
Andrew Halverson And then there's Screamo... I can't tell you how many times I've been accused of listening to that noise whilst wearing an Iron Maiden shirt. Sweet Celestia, all I want to say to them is, "NO!! NO!! NO!! NO!! NO!!" Screamo will never in one googolplex years hold a candle to Metal.
Metal...with ponys.. that are coming from a show called Frienship is Magic...this is a weird mix, but the result are like...20% cooler than normal metal...and this is a fucking Symphonic Opera! Guy, you are my new hero...
FoobyDude I always got it. Everybody with an IQ above 3 got it. HalfTangible said he should feel terrible about that joke, and said he doesn't, implying that he's proud of making such a bad pun
Im not a brony don't kill me please XD but i am not a idiot who judges people bronys are just human but this is fucking amazing :) aslo if you are a brony fuck the haters you are strong ^_^
It is kinda dark in the 4th season though XD Especially in the season finale with magic lasers, explosions and mountain crushing DBZ-style. You just gotta... accept the childish appearance (it doesn't hurt) and look a bit deeper. But i totally understand if it isn't your thing :D
Alright I know this is ten years late but I just now discovered this hidden gem. I have to say that this is one of my favorite tracks of yours & I started listening to your music about three years ago thanks to a friend recommending some of your tracks
24:23 "Now the sunrise lifts us up from the dark, The dawn bringing light, bringing hope We will rebuild, for our spirit is strong, And Harmony will be restored" ...beautiful. Really, good work. Greetings from Barcelona.
This is a masterpiece. The effort, investment, and soul that all of you have put into this work is exceedingly evident. This piece blurs the line between amateur and professional. The only real thing that Moonrise suffers from is that it is admittedly short for a full-fledged symphonic metal opera. One could only have hoped to have born further witness to the glorious and then tragic relationship between the "beloved alicorns, the angels whom we adorn with majesty". Even so, I cannot imagine how much time has already been spent to weave this masterful retelling of a story which itself has only ever been told to us in brevity. Whatever rough edges are left begin to dwindle away with each passing scene. Musicians, writers, vocalists, artists all: as a lover of tales, as a lover of music, I offer my praise and my sincerest gratitude.
The L-Train I listen to this genre of music all the time and I would like to say I think this song is well made but I still agree with AMrTheAn somewhat. There is something about it that doesn't give it the 'epic' feel of what I normally listen to in comparison to, for example, Sacred Worlds by Blind Guardian. What I think it is is that it does not go to the extremes of loud and soft enough, but that is just my opinion. Also note sorry if I come off a little rude but I just wanted to supply some constructive criticism.
Matt Smith Well, when it comes down to it, after you've listened to a genre of music for a really long time, it's difficult not to find similarities among a larger percentage of the songs. It's kind of what defines a genre of music... similarities in musical composition and lyrical thematic.
In my opinion, this story could not have been told any better. It really explains the feelings of Luna leading up to her banishment, the feelings of Celestia having to banish her, and also (even though it was mentioned very little) the feelings of those who had to fight their war. All in all, the greatest piece of brony music I've heard so far. It deserves way more recognition. Keep on rockin
True. The more I listen to it, the more I'm amazed by the lyrics. The other day I even teared up a bit at the "If I could have saved you, if I could have known - though much time will pass, I'll love you evermore". The whole conflict between the two sisters, with Luna frustrated and depressed (and maybe a tiny bit paranoid?) at her hard work being ignored, and Celestia feeling sad and even guilty that her sister did such a thing while at the same time never softening her resolve to do what must be done for the good of the kingdom... it just hits all the right strings.
I must say, this opera is simply candy to me. Such talent to orchestrate such an epic shouldn't be limited to TH-cam. I would love to experience this in the theatre.
@@SkyBoltsMusic Now, I've heard a lot... this album is still on another fucking level. To my ears it stands up to some of the most incredible epics ever composed.
Holy crap man! The other musical bronies better step it up, I need to get on your level lol. How did you record the guitars? With an actual amp or through a virtual amp simulator? I'm still not sure if it even matters, but I bet you would :P
Thanks :) The guitars were all recorded using an amp simulator, Native Instruments Guitar Rig 5, although Secret Metal re-amped all of the rhythm guitars with ... some other simulator, I forget which. I've found it's a lot simpler working that way than dicking around with amps and speakers and mics (and annoying the neighbours...)
***** & ***** Batty B. does have a point. It is a 25 minute long song, so it would take a helluva long time for anyone to make this into a video, and he wasn't rude. he was stating facts. Although, I don't know about your guys, but I can wait. I've waited more than a year for a couple of amazing Brony videos to be made, and the fall of the Crystal Empire was well waiting for. I'm still patiently and intently waiting for some pmvs and some fan made episodes/movies. time and patience aside, I'm so proud to be a brony.
***** Learn to use Flash Pro 8, first try to animate some stickmen (for start) and during you do that start to add sound effects and voices and draw the ponien as near as possible to the original style. when you learned all these things, combine them an you will become a MLP animator (I'm still trying to get that goddammit Flash Pro, for now I'm drawing on Adobe Photoshop but you can't make that style there
digimon ty I actually have listened to this 100+ times, if you get the app, "ListenOnRepeat", it counts each full rep of a video, and mine actually reads at least 100 XD
This song was played many times on the Rock Band setup at BronyCon this year. It was so fun watching people go 26 minutes straight playing and it was completely infuriating when the guitarist messed up repeatedly on the solos. xD Great times!
DivinumX Yeah, that 26-minute-long Rock Band chart is kind of ridiculous :D (That's the one Linos Melendi did, right?) If it's the chart I'm thinking of I'm not surprised they were messing up the solos, even I couldn't play those (on Rock Band ... very different to playing them on an actual guitar XD)
Feels like I'm listening to the magical lovechild of Nightwish, Dragon Force, and Trans Siberian Orchestra! Hot diggity dang!!! This was so awesome to run across!! 🤩 I was a fan of the show back in the day, but somehow missed this gem. Fantastically well done! I feel like this could stand on its own as an albulm, even outside the fandom.
Too much of the brony music on TH-cam is that techno, dubstep, or electro crap; whatever you wanna call it. We need more *real* music, like this masterpiece, on here :)
***** I don't recognize the names; so I've either never heard them, or did but wasn't paying attention to their name at the time. Either way thnx, I'll be sure to check them out :3
***** When it gets to the point that every other TH-camr is posting that genre of music; little is left to the imagination as to just how artistic it is (on average). While there may be really creative works done using it, there's also allot more normal ones. You can't find a song in Moonrises' genre that sounds like it took 1 hour to make, and it's because of that that I value it more highly. If you don't agree with my opinion, just know that I never asked you to in the first place.
you will never cease to amaze me. this is utterly brilliant. like, amazing ...amazeballs...superfantazmically orgasmic...i'm running out of ways to show how much i like this...you did good ....you did good
What is your life? My honour is my life. What is your fate? My duty is my fate. What is your fear? My fear is to fail. What is your reward? My salvation is my reward. What is your craft? My craft is death. What is your pledge? My pledge is eternal service for Eternal Night ! Lunar Guard's pledge
Anyone else think that they could actually use music like this in an official mlp movie? Like a pony movie not an EQG one ^^ Not that I have anything against the pop and fun style of it but it just doesn't fit the mythological set up of the show.
You should try to acquire rights to turn this into a real concert production. Imagine a bunch of actors and singers acting this out with a live band/ orchestra. Kickstart it once you get the rights. I would pay good money to see this, and I know a lot of people would. A live metal concert with opera theater acting? Hell yeah!
Fel Greywolf As awesome as that would be, there's a number of issues: - It's only 25 minutes long, which is probably not long enough - It would require an enormous number of musicians to do it justice (I wouldn't be happy with a karaoke-style pre-recorded orchestra) -> expensive and difficult! - The cast and crew are spread across 4 different continents - I don't think Hasbro would go for it So ... :(
All Hasbro would have to do would be release the rights. I bet a kick starter would generate more than enough,not to mention ticket sales. Make it a pony festival!
The L-Train thanks.. im not sure when is it going to be done, coz im going to try to create it from scratch in 3D.. im in storyboarding process now.. :D
I like *Nightfall* 🌠---------------------🌠 🌙 *Luna* Twinkling stars of every size Adorn the canvas of the skies Captivate and mesmerize And usher in the moonrise Wait! Hold on, don’t close your eyes, Would you waste this evening so divine? Would you lie and not arise, and slumber through creation at its prime? ⭐️ *Storyteller* Ruling from a silent throne, her majesty ignored Leaving her tender breaking heart to fracture all alone And so a wicked seed began to grow and grow Twisting up her loving mind with sharp and hateful thorns 🌙 *Luna* (Nightmare Moon) Don’t they see how hard I try? (They don’t deserve you) Is my night not worthy for them? (Blasphemous foals!) Do they think they can deny My royal right? 🌑 *Luna & Nightmare Moon* Let’s see them try to hide! {laughter} No more will the moon be eclipsed By selfish, blinding, scorching sunlight! Gaze upon the dusk of a new age, The lunar throne shall take its rightful place!
TheFGF913 But this is a pony related piece of music... I mean, even you can't deny how beautifully this was composed. From the use of Latin to the way the story is told, this is without a doubt a masterpiece.
It's official. You are pretty much what would happen if Dream Theater was just one person and just so happened to like MLP. Over the past couple of years I have never in my wildest dreams would imagine a song like this being released in this community. This is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!
what do you call a long line of learning drivers? an L-Train. lol never mind that. this is the best song I've ever heard and it will probably stay that way. until Fall of an Empire if it blows me away. especially considering this is fan made like omg so so good. this song proves that fan made songs are not different in quality then songs with a record label. everything about this song is interstellar and I would recommend to everyone only if the song didn't say pony in it XD lol who cares? I LOVE IT! I love everything you do L-Train. keep it up. I also subscribed to the whole Moonrise crew.
Dude... this.. is... wow... I can't find word in english, so ill say it in my language: french: énorme, génialissime, magnifique, sublime, tellement majestueux, so amazing! Insta buy With, your permission, can i put your song in a concert in france?
***** Why just brony music? Make it underground music in general. It would be a great way to have everyone learn what music made by a bunch of indies sounds like.
Amazing soundtrack listened to this for years when I was obsessed with instrumental and orchestra. Basically epic music and this was one of my favorites
This is epic on so many levels. I swear, if this doesn't get its own page on EQD, I will send Sethisto to the moon. On another note, congratulations to everyone who worked on this project and made it into the awesomefest that it is. :)
+Chilliam William Its about looking past the shows target audience and just realizing that the show is surprisingly well written and well animated, the characters have more depth than normal, they learn from there mistakes and the show as a whole is not static like most other cartoons or hell just about anything on tv,, plus for some of us it has alot of throwback voice work done by people we remember from our childhood and so on, such as q from startrack, vegeta from dbz is also a voice actor but to each there own :D atleast we can both agree the music is amazing !
+next level nub from what I've seen so far (a fair amount of Season 1), the characters do appear to represent different character archetypes, albeit with a somewhat fresh take on them. Twilight Sparkle - so bookish that she has to be sent away to Ponyville to learn about friendship Apple Jack - rustic, self-aware type. Pinkie Pie - definitely the "dumb best friend" Rainbow Dash - driven, proud, sporty type Rarity - like Paris Hilton, but throws less tantrums Fluttershy - the shy one, nature lover That said, there's nothing wrong with these archetypes. They all learn over the course of the show. I'm just saying that, where I'm at, I haven't found the characters particularly deep at the moment. The themes covered in each episode aren't exactly anything I've seen before, but it's got a definite, undeniable charm and polish to it.
+x1StapleGun i will give you all of that, the later on series you can definitely tell the differences though, if u keep watching im sure u will come to enjoy it more :(
There's music in the sunlight, and there's music in the shadows, and now symponic metal fills the sky, there's music by the sunrise, and there's music by the moonrise, and the music makes alicorns battle it out... *guitar riff* Yay!
Wait!? What the hell is this awesomeness I'm listening to!? This is AMAZING!! I only ever watched the first season of MLP. What do I need to know?? Like, are the lyrics references to particular episodes? Are these songs reinterpretations of music from the show? (I don't recognize any!) I NEED ANSWERS!! Yes, I could Google that but I'm quite high RN and likely won't remember to do that. So, if someone could please follow up with me even if it's months on, that would be great! Thanks! Have a great day!
In simple terms this is a musical adaptation of the original Nightmare Moon story as explained in the Season 1 pilot episodes. We added enough flare and framing devices to give it a little more context and weight. :)
I can't believe it's been 9 years. It feels like yesterday i listened to this for the first time. This song got me through long nights working in a factory. I still love it to this day. It's amazing in every way, and I'm so glad it exists
Why hasn't anybody put this in a game yet? All of these songs are of the quality and amazingness of an orchestral soundtrack for a AAA title... SERIOUSLY! If I ever get a game off the ground, I shall request this song as the music for the game! ... Now... to get a game off the ground...
It’s crazy to think this came out when i was 14. As someone who is 22 now I’ll never forget this song. It was my real first introduction to metal and all the cool stuff this fandom created! I’ll never forget these days :)
I subscribe to every word
ye i remember listening to this everyday in middle school, im in fucking college now 😅😅😅. this symphony still slaps
same i listened to this all the time when i was like 13, now i’m 21 😂

Guy with a creative name im not a pony fan in the slightest but this album is 100% worthy and epic
Ur awesome dude. Listen to MEQA upshot by Ponies At Dawn!
Охрененные у вас школьные проекты. У нас такого не было
This was and still is the best part of the brony community. The enormous variety of what MLP can be. From heart-wrenching tragedies, the fantastic epics, to cute slice-of-life, to shameless clop and so forth. It's why even though other shows/games have come and gone with me MLP is the one thing I haven't been able to get away from for the full 7 years.
🤘😖
🤘😎
It doesn't matter whether or not you like the show. This is awesome. Period.
Metal makes everything better. Except Death Metal, Black Metal, and all those other growling genres...
Yeah, metal has kinda become a dumping ground for undesired rock-base music styles, like glam rock.
Andrew Halverson And then there's Screamo...
I can't tell you how many times I've been accused of listening to that noise whilst wearing an Iron Maiden shirt. Sweet Celestia, all I want to say to them is, "NO!! NO!! NO!! NO!! NO!!"
Screamo will never in one googolplex years hold a candle to Metal.

RedPanda Otaku On that you can watch 1-2 episodes of the 1st season and 1-2 episodes of 4th season. (or watch the whole thing lol)
It seems a bit childish i would like to get to the seroius parts but gah it is so happy ;-; i like dark humor gah fuck it
It is kinda dark in the 4th season though XD
Especially in the season finale with magic lasers, explosions and mountain crushing DBZ-style.
You just gotta... accept the childish appearance (it doesn't hurt) and look a bit deeper.

That was the most epic thing I have ever heard.
Gave me friggin goosebumps, and I usually don't like this genre of music.

Tango Tom DivinumX Did you know you can post links in TH-cam comments now? Like this: The L-Train (and friends) - Moonrise - Rock Band 3 Custom
wow, that is just the best thing. thanks much!
This Song is #1 on the top 50 songs of 2014 on Fillydelphia radio /)
Dusan Lausevic (\ thanks to everyone who voted!
Hay yeah, all these awesome people deserved it! :D
the entire opera collection?
Feels like I'm listening to the magical lovechild of Nightwish, Dragon Force, and Trans Siberian Orchestra!
Hot diggity dang!!! This was so awesome to run across!! 🤩
I was a fan of the show back in the day, but somehow missed this gem.
Fantastically well done! I feel like this could stand on its own as an albulm, even outside the fandom.
This.... is beautiful....
DJDelta0 Your Icon goes nicely with you comment.
Too much of the brony music on TH-cam is that techno, dubstep, or electro crap; whatever you wanna call it. We need more *real* music, like this masterpiece, on here :)
Have you heard of PonyPhonic or Sylphstorm? You might like them if you're not into electro music.
*SlyphStorm, I keep misspelling his name xD
*****
I don't recognize the names; so I've either never heard them, or did but wasn't paying attention to their name at the time.
Either way thnx, I'll be sure to check them out :3
+Derivative MVs Well, if you've heard "Lullaby for a Princess" then you've heard ponyphonic.
*****
When it gets to the point that every other TH-camr is posting that genre of music; little is left to the imagination as to just how artistic it is (on average).
While there may be really creative works done using it, there's also allot more normal ones. You can't find a song in Moonrises' genre that sounds like it took 1 hour to make, and it's because of that that I value it more highly.
If you don't agree with my opinion, just know that I never asked you to in the first place.
I'm not a brony but listening to this is such a masterpiece.
What do you mean 10 years ago 😭
Listening in 2019 an beyond
"Hmm, is this worth my time"
*Starts it*
"Let's see what you can deliver"
*Finishes it*
*Replays it a few times*
"That delivered very well."
I feel so honored to be a part of this fabulous work! Awesome job, guys! :D
Your voice was gorgeous!
Thank you very much! :)
Pony Rock Project is gonna have a Hell of a time converting this to Rock Band.
Welp mate... /mlp/ saw this... and they liked it.
You got the 4chan pony board... to like a fandom creation.
You've done it mate. Congrats.
2022 epic as always
you will never cease to amaze me. this is utterly brilliant. like, amazing ...amazeballs...superfantazmically orgasmic...i'm running out of ways to show how much i like this...you did good ....you did good
Gz on 100k views - still so epic!
If they ever do make a MLP Broadway musical, I would like to see you guys and Ponyphonics do a collaboration for the music.
Still listening in 2021. This is my jam.
Is this a band ? I don't get it
Sounds amazing
THIS CAME OUTA NOWHERE! O_O
Can this fandom get any better than this? Seriously?!
This stuff rocks
All aboard the L-Train. Free symphonic metal music will be provided.
We need an animated video/SFM playing along with this.
YES
HELL YES FOR THE LOVE OF LUNA DO IT.
I DON'T like mlp... But this....... IT'S AMAZING SO PROFESSIONAL... I'm definitely gonna stalk all the people who worked on this
Awesome work!
Liked, favorited, shared, praised, bought.
Right, now it's time to listen.
Wow. In all of my days, I have never even heard something so amazing for MLP! In my opinion, this would hit #1 on my MLP fandom songs.
Well symphonic metal makes everything great
Still alive in 2020 and listening to this masterpiece.
HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD THIS YET
Mabel Pines Because you listen to Sev'ral Timez so much?
But seriously, this stuff is awesome.
Mabel Pines Or as any normal person would say, SCRUB! :D
This is pure, unquestioned art! It's so amazing, that I don't know what can I say... You are all awesome, people! Bravo! /)
(\ thankyou!
I don't watch MLP, I don't like MLP.
This is fucking amazing regardless. Good on you.
That was SO damn epic! ;u;
What is your life?
My honour is my life.
What is your fate?
My duty is my fate.
What is your fear?
My fear is to fail.
What is your reward?
My salvation is my reward.
What is your craft?
My craft is death.
What is your pledge?
My pledge is eternal service for Eternal Night !
Lunar Guard's pledge
Anyone else think that they could actually use music like this in an official mlp movie? Like a pony movie not an EQG one ^^
Not that I have anything against the pop and fun style of it but it just doesn't fit the mythological set up of the show.
Even over three years later, this is still one of the absolute best MLP fan produced song there is.
I think this just might be the best thing to come out of the fandom.
I'm honestly surprised this doesn't have more views.
You should try to acquire rights to turn this into a real concert production. Imagine a bunch of actors and singers acting this out with a live band/ orchestra. Kickstart it once you get the rights.
I would pay good money to see this, and I know a lot of people would. A live metal concert with opera theater acting? Hell yeah!
Fel Greywolf As awesome as that would be, there's a number of issues:
- It's only 25 minutes long, which is probably not long enough
- It would require an enormous number of musicians to do it justice (I wouldn't be happy with a karaoke-style pre-recorded orchestra) -> expensive and difficult!
- The cast and crew are spread across 4 different continents
- I don't think Hasbro would go for it
So ... :(
All Hasbro would have to do would be release the rights.
I bet a kick starter would generate more than enough,not to mention ticket sales.
Make it a pony festival!
The L-Train I bet that first point could be solved if it were like... twice as long, or a little more... ;D
I would like to ask for your permission to make a PMV of this.. is that ok ?
Kevin Lumoindong Sure! Just let me know when it's done and uploaded so I can watch / enjoy / promote it :D
The L-Train thanks.. im not sure when is it going to be done, coz im going to try to create it from scratch in 3D.. im in storyboarding process now.. :D
Kevin Lumoindong what software will you be using? Just wondering.
Spunky Cupcake Mainly im going to use Maya. :)
Kevin Lumoindong Oh, man... keep us updated!
This song is simply legendary.
Indeed.
I like *Nightfall*
🌠---------------------🌠
🌙 *Luna*
Twinkling stars of every size
Adorn the canvas of the skies
Captivate and mesmerize
And usher in the moonrise
Wait! Hold on, don’t close your eyes,
Would you waste this evening so divine?
Would you lie and not arise,
and slumber through creation at its prime?
⭐️ *Storyteller*
Ruling from a silent throne, her majesty ignored
Leaving her tender breaking heart to fracture all alone
And so a wicked seed began to grow and grow
Twisting up her loving mind with sharp and hateful thorns
🌙 *Luna* (Nightmare Moon)
Don’t they see how hard I try? (They don’t deserve you)
Is my night not worthy for them? (Blasphemous foals!)
Do they think they can deny
My royal right?
🌑 *Luna & Nightmare Moon*
Let’s see them try to hide! {laughter}
No more will the moon be eclipsed
By selfish, blinding, scorching sunlight!
Gaze upon the dusk of a new age,
The lunar throne shall take its rightful place!
anyone else listening in 2018?
You have even now grabbed the attention of quite a few non-brony metalheads for this amazing opera, in other words, VERY VERY WELL DONE!!!
Masterpiece. No more words
TheFGF913
But this is a pony related piece of music...
I mean, even you can't deny how beautifully this was composed. From the use of Latin to the way the story is told, this is without a doubt a masterpiece.
TheFGF913 if you noticed, all this piece of music is pony related...
TheFGF913 not sure if trolling or just stupid...
TheFGF913 **Slow Clap**
Someone should make an animatic of this, it's beautiful and would be awesome to see how the song plays out with each scene
Someone was making an animation for Harmony but it's never been finished.
It's official. You are pretty much what would happen if Dream Theater was just one person and just so happened to like MLP. Over the past couple of years I have never in my wildest dreams would imagine a song like this being released in this community. This is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!
what do you call a long line of learning drivers?
an L-Train.
lol never mind that. this is the best song I've ever heard and it will probably stay that way. until Fall of an Empire if it blows me away. especially considering this is fan made like omg so so good. this song proves that fan made songs are not different in quality then songs with a record label. everything about this song is interstellar and I would recommend to everyone only if the song didn't say pony in it XD lol who cares? I LOVE IT!
I love everything you do L-Train. keep it up. I also subscribed to the whole Moonrise crew.
+I Am Kriptic your dad called, he wants his joke back
thanks dude :)
Dude... this.. is... wow... I can't find word in english, so ill say it in my language: french: énorme, génialissime, magnifique, sublime, tellement majestueux, so amazing!
Insta buy
With, your permission, can i put your song in a concert in france?
Polo Dawnio Thank you so much! And sure, you can put this song in a concert, just make sure you give proper credit.
That will be a non profit concert :) ty man! /)
Polo Dawnio (\ no worries!
***** Why just brony music? Make it underground music in general. It would be a great way to have everyone learn what music made by a bunch of indies sounds like.
Le monde est petit mon chère Dawnio ^^
Ностальгия пробирает меня! Брони всех стран соединяйтесь!
Believe it or not, i've been listening to this regularly since i found it 7 years ago... but still haven't seen mlp. 😂 Maybe i should give it a shot.
It's my 7th time listening to this today. A masterpiece. Thanks for doing this truly amazing piece of art
Amazing soundtrack listened to this for years when I was obsessed with instrumental and orchestra. Basically epic music and this was one of my favorites
This has been out for over three years and it doesn't even have 700k views.
This is a goddamn crime.
Out for over 10 years now and still under a Mil
I love this music so much omg
This reminds me o Within Temptation .3. I love symphonic Metal and GOD DOES THIS SOUD EPIC! :D
This is epic on so many levels. I swear, if this doesn't get its own page on EQD, I will send Sethisto to the moon.
On another note, congratulations to everyone who worked on this project and made it into the awesomefest that it is. :)
I personally don't like MLP at all, and I find the whole concept of liking a show about horses weird, but damn, this was impressive. Keep it up!
+Chilliam William Same but i like the Metal opera so the fact that it is MLP doesn't matter to me as long as it is amazing like this Album.
+Chilliam William Its about looking past the shows target audience and just realizing that the show is surprisingly well written and well animated, the characters have more depth than normal, they learn from there mistakes and the show as a whole is not static like most other cartoons or hell just about anything on tv,, plus for some of us it has alot of throwback voice work done by people we remember from our childhood and so on, such as q from startrack, vegeta from dbz is also a voice actor but to each there own :D atleast we can both agree the music is amazing !
+next level nub from what I've seen so far (a fair amount of Season 1), the characters do appear to represent different character archetypes, albeit with a somewhat fresh take on them.
Twilight Sparkle - so bookish that she has to be sent away to Ponyville to learn about friendship
Apple Jack - rustic, self-aware type.
Pinkie Pie - definitely the "dumb best friend"
Rainbow Dash - driven, proud, sporty type
Rarity - like Paris Hilton, but throws less tantrums
Fluttershy - the shy one, nature lover
That said, there's nothing wrong with these archetypes. They all learn over the course of the show. I'm just saying that, where I'm at, I haven't found the characters particularly deep at the moment. The themes covered in each episode aren't exactly anything I've seen before, but it's got a definite, undeniable charm and polish to it.
+x1StapleGun i will give you all of that, the later on series you can definitely tell the differences though, if u keep watching im sure u will come to enjoy it more :(
+next level nub suppose to be a smily face XD
There's music in the sunlight,
and there's music in the shadows,
and now symponic metal fills the sky,
there's music by the sunrise,
and there's music by the moonrise,
and the music makes alicorns battle it out...
*guitar riff*
Yay!
I know nothing about MLP, but this is so freaking EPIC! This is incredible.
Wait!? What the hell is this awesomeness I'm listening to!? This is AMAZING!! I only ever watched the first season of MLP. What do I need to know?? Like, are the lyrics references to particular episodes? Are these songs reinterpretations of music from the show? (I don't recognize any!) I NEED ANSWERS!!
Yes, I could Google that but I'm quite high RN and likely won't remember to do that. So, if someone could please follow up with me even if it's months on, that would be great! Thanks! Have a great day!
Technically this takes place a thousand years before what happens in the show.
In simple terms this is a musical adaptation of the original Nightmare Moon story as explained in the Season 1 pilot episodes. We added enough flare and framing devices to give it a little more context and weight. :)
@@SkyBoltsMusic it's me again! I remembered about my post here lol Thank you for your detailed explanation. I appreciate it!
I'm so sorry. so so so so very sorry.
But Celestia is using a goatee.
SO SORRY SO SORRY SO SORRY
lmao she completely is. it can't be unseen.
I can't believe it's been 9 years. It feels like yesterday i listened to this for the first time. This song got me through long nights working in a factory. I still love it to this day. It's amazing in every way, and I'm so glad it exists
Woah dude this is great. You should make more of these.
This guy...
this is INSANELY good, i was so deep in the fandom for YEARS but i never found this! love this so much.
Why hasn't anybody put this in a game yet? All of these songs are of the quality and amazingness of an orchestral soundtrack for a AAA title... SERIOUSLY! If I ever get a game off the ground, I shall request this song as the music for the game!
...
Now... to get a game off the ground...
Today you won the internet.
I can totally imagine this being in Final Fantasy
